I think Berlin is a great choice, because it excels at the metrics that matter most in constructing a new gigafactory. I believe the most critical metrics are:
- cost of construction, including cost of land: extremely low in Berlin
- cost of labour/wages: extremely low in Berlin
- standard of living: very high, healthy
- reachability: near Airport, highways, railroad
- location within Europe: Germany/Berlin is perfectly in the middle of Europe with great railroad/truck connections to all other
- regulation/friendliness to car industry: exceptional in Germany, as auto industry is the world's biggest
- talent: world-class in Germany
- law and order/rule of law: one of the best in the world
